The 3D reconstruction of the ancient early Christian basilica in Siponto, created by Edoardo Tresoldi, is an impressive installation made of metal mesh that reproduces the original structure at full scale. Transparent and lightweight, it interacts with the nearby medieval basilica, restoring its original volumes and shapes while creating a striking dialogue between past and present.
